The aim of the research was to determine the feeding efficiency of lactobionic acid on the pigs’ growth and pork quality. In order to achieve the goal, the following tasks were performed: the growth of pigs was controlled, the feed was prepared, the yield and quality of pork was determined. The study was organized on a production farm. Two groups (control and trial) were completed, each with 26 pigs. The animals were selected in groups based on pig´s pedigree, live weight, age and sex. The control group pigs received wet compound feed, but for the trial group lactobionic acid was included in the wet compound feed: from 7% at the beginning up to 15% at the end of the experiment. Other feedstuffs were the same. The results showed that inclusion of lactobionic acid in the diet did not increase significantly the growth rate of pigs. The pork quality indices were without significant differences, but the slaughter outcome and back fat thickness was a little higher in the trial group.
